Wind turbine falls to the ground after being hit by hurricane-like forces

I am very much aware of the fact that this piece of news does little – if anything, for that matter – to help promote green energy, yet the fact remains that such incidents need also be mentioned.

This is because people must know that, despite their being way cooler than coal and other similar dirty energy sources, wind turbines, solar panels and the like are not exactly bulletproof either.

To cut a long story short, a wind turbine at East Ash Farm in Devon, near Holsworthy has recently fallen to the ground after being hit by hurricane-force winds. Apparently, its blades began to spin out of control, and the wind turbine eventually caught fire.
